[s-cars] Three questions:

[Matthew Russell]

Hi everyone!

Trying to get the new-to-me Avant running.

1- Did we ever come to a consensus on what RB means by "paste" on the  
crank pulley bolt? Blue loctite?

2- Do I need to loosen all the exhaust and turbo bolts to replace a  
leaky turbo to manifold gasket? Bueller? Car has a Stromung gen IV.  
I'm guessing since the motor mounts are original, they may be a  
contributer to my leak.

3- tensioning the timing belt.  The old belt seems QUITE loose to me,  
and if the slack is taken out of the belt (by turning the motor  
clockwise via the cam pulley) I can twist the old belt quite easily 90  
degrees. It even has probably 1/2" or so of "freeplay" if moved back  
and forth between the cam pulley and water pump pulley. Any thoughts?

Matt
